Blackout blues? NFL ticket sales slumping in some cities

[BAMAPHIN 22]

If the economy is slowly rebounding, ticket sales for many NFL teams have yet to take the corresponding bounce for the upcoming season.

Two teams — the San Diego Chargers and the Jacksonville Jaguars— say it's likely they will have home TV blackouts this season due to an inability to sell out their stadiums. At least 10 other teams could also face blackouts.

Miami Dolphins: Spokesman Harvey Greene said by e-mail they don't expect blackouts, but he was unable to rule them out. Said Green, "We are working hard to insure all our home games are televised locally."

Why does every team expect that every game should be a sellout. The NFL ticket is pretty damn expensive and parking is about half the price of a ticket.
